Conference Worship

January 6, 2010 – 7:32 pm

As much as I’ll remember the preaching at this conference, I’ll remember the delightful times of congregational worship. The congregational singing has been particularly sweet. This is due, no doubt, to the well-chosen hymns (thank you, Ben Russell!), streamlined service orders, focused times of corporate prayers, and very effective reading of Scripture (thank you, Dan Winnberg!). The orders of worship have been as follows:

Monday Evening
“O Church, Arise”
“Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness”
“Before the Throne of God Above”
